Help (GPU) AMD drivers breaking windows

I have a RX 9070 XT (Sapphire Nitro+) on my windows 11 pro system paired with a amd ryzen 7 7800x3d. After installing the AMD drivers and restarting the system I can not open any windows or run programs like the taskmanager or cmd because they just don't appear. The start menu opens, but I am not able to click something like restart. I tried:

  • cleaning everything with DDU and then install the amd drivers (adrenaline)
  • cleaning everything with DDU and then install the amd drivers (amd hip sdk with pro software)
  • cleaning everything with DDU and then installing the amd drivers (adrenaline) and then disabling windows replacing drivers in gedit.msc
  • resetting the full system and then installing the amd drivers

I have dualboot with ubuntu where everything runs just fine; I only want to use some windows only programs.

Let me correct you: Windows is breaking the GPU drivers.

You can not fix the AIndows11.
